Climbed the short south wall at about midway between Eichorn Pinnacle and the main summit. It was just under three pitches of a mix of class 4 and up to about 5.5. Very enjoyable and recommended route.

nice little bit of climbing to top out on the summit block! AMAZING views of eichorn, the prize climb. Some crazy dirtbag dude topped out on the summit at the same time, he had free soloed the SE buttress.

started off on a bluebird day, by the second pitch crowds were gathering. by the third pitch clouds were gathering. when we made it to the summit blocks we could see rain in the distance and hear thunder so we beat it out of there. We made it back to the start in time for heavy hail and rain. There were still several (crazy) parties climbing in the rain and lightning.

Summitted with Jack - very enjoyable climb. Eichorn's Pinnacle was the highlight for me, by far! The views are fantastic and the climbing very clean. Three parties at 05:30 at the trailhead... And another one already on the route when we got there. Good thing for the early start too, because thunderstorms moved in unusually early. Easy descent back to the JMT from the pinnacle.

Left the road around 4 pm, started climbing a little after 5, reached the top around 7. No crowds - only a soloist ahead of us on the route. Incredible view and light from the summit with the sun going down! 4.5 hrs RT.
